Your Nose Knows: Smell Loss and Brain Health. Sense of smell is an important signal of brain disease, including Parkinson’s. A landmark research study is exploring this link toward prevention. A simple scratch-and-sniff test could help scientists learn more about risk of brain disease and develop new treatments.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is asking anybody 40 and older with and without Parkinson’s disease to take a free smell test. Get started at: mysmelltest.org/annarbor or scan the QR code.

The Ann Arbor YMCA believes health and fitness programs should be accessible to all! Moving for Better Balance is a falls-prevention program that uses the principles and movements of tai chi to help older adults increase their strength, improve their balance, and increase their confidence in doing everyday activities. Enjoy a full hour of fun with Enhance Fitness, where the focus is on dynamic cardiovascular exercise, strength training, balance, and flexibility—everything older adults need to maintain health and function as they age. Participants can either sit or stand during the class. Silver Strength Bootcamp is a four-week paid fitness program that meets twice per week, where seniors work directly with personal trainers in an environment where they can safely challenge themselves, stay active, and make new friends. Senior Fitness is good for anyone who wants a low-impact workout, as this moderately paced class focuses on improving aerobic endurance, strength, and flexibility. Membership for 65+: $55/month, $60 joining fee. Senior couple: $97/month, $60 joining fee. Apply for the Open Arms Scholarship for 10–80% off membership rate.
